With no Canadian teams in Lord Stanley's cup, now comes the watch if Arizona packs it in, and the Nordiques can come back to life. My hometown won the Stanley Cup in 1925 against the Habs, so I can still dream big that there will eventually be more teams for Canada).

@maggiefox Lots of good chatGPT tips lately though… and still good for hockey clips from last nights game.

I think I might be done here, folks. I joined in 2007. It was always interesting: when it was the people I followed & when the algo augmented that. Until it came under new mgmt and we ended up in this middle space, which is neither provocative nor personal. It’s just… boring.

What is an #IP strategy? An IP strategy entails formulating how a business can develop and utilize its IP in a way that will help achieve business objectives. At IPON, we offer services that help you develop IP strategies. Check them out: ip-ontario.ca/services

A lot of businesses might be thinking: Does #IP matter? Is my time well-used on IP? As IPON CEO @noremacc explained during a webinar by @ONeconomy, yes, and the time to start working on a plan is today. Visit ip-ontario.ca to learn how IPON can help provide support.

Last panel of the day covering data policy in a roundtable discussion. This powerhouse panel, moderated by @Heatherpratt90, welcomes @YvonnePilon, @Matt_InvestWE, @noremacc, Donald C. Rodzik, and Asad Farooq. #DATAmotive2023

We are working with post-secondary education institutions to address how best to advance commercialization and #IP outcomes for Ontario. Thank you to all of the speakers, and to @JillDunlop1, Ontario’s Minister of @ONtrainandstudy, for kicking off today's meeting.

So many false narratives in this piece. Canadian s/w companies who think patents don't matter will end up in the US patent slaughterhouse. Opinion: Boosting patents, intellectual property won’t solve Canada’s innovation problem /via @globeandmail theglobeandmail.com/business/comme…

Let’s not forget that while Shopify has been quite successful so far, they are playing catch-up b/c they are now on Amazon’s radar. Same thing happened with ElementAI. Sweeping thoughts of patents under the rug will come back and bite you.

An excellent session this morning on #IP for #artificialintelligence in partnership w/ @uottawakn. As one panelist pointed said the biggest risk for your IP is to not do it and take it seriously. If you missed the event stay tuned for the recording.
